34.3
4 - fixed a great number of bugs and corner cases in AnyEvent::Handle:
5 - fix a bug in where in SSL connect mode, the
6 client would first wait for some data by the server and
7 otherwise hang. (Reported and analyzed in an absolutely
8 exemplary manner by Adam Rosenstein).
9 - fix a bug in where SSL EOF would not be treated
10 as stream EOF, putting the connection into a hung state.
11 (Reported and analyzed in an absolutely exemplary manner by Adam
12 Rosenstein).
13 - fix a potential segfault when the TLS context
14 would go missing in a read callback (e.g. due to stoptls) -
15 Net::SSLeay of course makes no type checking whatsoever.
16 - AnyEvent::Handle will not stop the read watcher in TLS mode.
17 - AnyEvent::Handle->stoptls will send a TLS close notify
18 instead of simply destroying the stream now.
19 - fix a bug where large blocks of data written in TLS mode
20 would not be sent unless triggered by receives.
21 - on_drain will now take the tls write buffer into account.
22 - SSL operations have been streamlined a bit and should be faster
23 now, more to come, though.
24 - added a FAQ section, will document nontrivial issues in there.
25
264.234 Mon Sep 29 04:08:13 CEST 2008
27 - fix child watcher documentation: only child exits will be reported,
28 no trace events.
29 - mention SIGPIPE in AnyEvent::Handle.
30 - perl backend will now use POSIX::times as monotonic clock
31 when available and the monotonic clock option is not.
32 - run even without Time::HiRes in some cases now, but do not
33 provide sub-second accuracy (all *supported* perl versions have
34 Time::HiRes).
35
364.233 Fri Aug 22 01:48:05 CEST 2008
37 - fix a bug in the testsuite, causing a hang.
38 - clarified lots of AnyEvent::Handle constructor arguments.
39
404.232 Thu Aug 21 20:44:25 CEST 2008
41 - fix a bug in AnyEvent::Handle that could cause two fatal error
42 callbacks on EOF, which caused AnyEvent::HTTP to signal success twice
43 (testcase by Leon Brocard).
44 - clarified on_eof/on_error documentation a bit.
45
464.231 Tue Jul 29 13:12:15 CEST 2008
47 - remove some debugging code left in AnyEvent::Util::fork_call
48 (and no, it's impossible to implement with the broken windows
49 perls without resource leaks or worse).
50
514.23 Tue Jul 29 12:19:59 CEST 2008
52 - document the first parameter passed to condvar callbacks to be
53 the callback.
54 - add AnyEvent::Socket::{ntoa,aton} aliases.
55 - optimize the AE::Handle->push_read (line) for the default
56 eol marker.
57 - optimize push_read (packstring|storable) for small packets.
58 - invoke on_error callback when no on_eof callback is set.
59 - fix a bug in push_read (storable) of unknown impact.
60
614.22 Sun Jul 20 16:34:13 CEST 2008
62 - new function AnyEvent::Socket::parse_hostport.
63 - as the bulkheads at microsoft can't even get getprotobyname reliably
64 working on their shitty fucking broken os we need to hardcode
65 some common protocol numbers in AnyEvent::Socket. How can
66 people even bother with such a pile of shit as windows.
67
684.21 Thu Jul 17 14:40:05 CEST 2008
69 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: AnyEvent::Util::fork_call now has a prototype
70 which is incompatible to previous invocation syntax.
71 - work around more windows perl bugs in fork_call. I cannot imagine
72 why anybody would bother implementing fork in such an obviously
73 unusable way.
74 - avoid calling $do_retry if the request has already finished in
75 AnyEvent::DNS, thus avoiding an exception (reported by Anatoly
76 K. Sharifulin).
77
784.2 Sat Jul 12 22:42:11 CEST 2008
79 - support an "interval" argument for repeating timers.
80 - fix a bug in the pure perl event loop that caused timers to
81 be delayed under some circumstances.
82 - implement optional argument checking via PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT.
83 - not importing anything from Event causes it to malfunction
84 and not use Time::HiRes, work around this bug.
85 - more bug workarounds against the endlessly broken Tk module,
86 seems to work now on 32 bit machines, but less so on 64 bit.
87 - minor optimisations applied to most backends.
88
894.161 Fri Jul 4 14:24:48 CEST 2008
90 - fixed the t/handle/02_write.t, it read after write, with the
91 assumption that all data could be written before read
92 (reported by Jim Razmus).
93
944.160 Thu Jul 3 04:02:21 CEST 2008
95 - re-registering signal watchers after unregistering one did
96 not work if a backend falls back on AnyEvent's default
97 implementation (also affected child watchers).
98 - new AnyEvent::Handle options: autocork and no_delay.
99
1004.152 Sun Jun 22 14:15:44 CEST 2008
101 - allow for 32-bit perls that implement shifts differently
102 on different architectures in parse_ipv4 (reported and
103 analysed by Keiichi DAIBA).
104
1054.151 Fri Jun 6 17:34:24 CEST 2008
106 - make sure specifying _only_ on_read and never pushing reads
107 works.
108
1094.15 Fri Jun 6 13:00:46 CEST 2008
110 - the pure perl backend would keep some watchers alive when more than
111 one watcher was registered for the same fd.
112 - new "packstring" and "storable" read and write types
113 for AnyEvent::Handle.
114 - allow on_eof handler to be called after on_error with EPIPE returns.
115 - do not immediately call on_read callback in handle constructor.
116
1174.14 Thu Jun 5 20:29:31 CEST 2008
118 - Fixed a bug in DNS SRV priority sorting.
119 - AnyEvent::Util::guard now reports runtime errors while
120 executing the guard block as warnings.
121 - handle 0-byte-reads just before EOF correctly in AnyEvent::Handle.
122
1234.13 Thu Jun 5 00:47:59 CEST 2008
124 - AnyEvent::DNS only followed cname chains with length 2,
125 contrary to documentation. bumped it up to 10, thanks to
126 microsoft, the current broken-dns-config-king.
127 - AnyEvent::DNS didn't check for socket return status
128 but instead relied on perl not creating filehandles in that
129 case - too bad it gives you a bogus file handle (reported
130 and analysed by Vladimir Timofeev).
131 - fix queue management logic in AnyEvent::Handle:
132 when on_read was registered, the queue was empty
133 and no progress could be made AnyEvent::Handle would
134 enter an endless loop.
135 - correctly start reading again when the handle became
136 busy again after idling.
137 - correctly treat tls shut-downs as EOF condition
138 (for the time being, would be nice to have a callback for that).
139 - correctly call eof callback under all conditions
140 (hopefully).
141 - the timeout callback did not expect that $self can go
142 away any time.
143
1444.12 Tue Jun 3 10:58:04 CEST 2008
145 - include AnyEvent::Intro, a tutorial for anyevent,
146 anyevent::socket and anyevent::handle.
147 - allow more options in on_error.
148
1494.11 Fri May 30 23:42:25 CEST 2008
150 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: replace ptr by real PTR lookup, provide
151 reverse_lookup and reverse_verify to replace it, support
152 v4mapped and v4compat addresses.
153 - provide more documentation for the resolver class.
154 - really replace longest run of :0: by :: in format_address,
155 also properly convert :: and ::1 again.
156 - support NAPTR record name and decode it.
157 - implement random weight sampling for SRV records, as per
158 rfc 2782.
159 - correctly abort on srv-record targets of ".".
160 - added AnyEvent::DNS::wait_for_slot.
161 - in the unlikely event of a virtual circuit connection
162 being invalidated by a delayed udp reply, AnyEvent::DNS
163 could die. this has been fixed.
164 - plug a probable memleak in the DNS vc code.
165 - use configured timeout also for VC request phase.
166 - implement timeout and max_outstanding methods
167 for resolver class.
168 - update version numbers in all modules.
169
1704.1 Thu May 29 05:45:40 CEST 2008
171 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed xxx_ip functions to xxx_address
172 which mirrors their purpose better (old names still available
173 for a while). Also moved AnyEvent::DNS::addr to
174 AnyEvent::Socket::resolve_sockaddr.
175 - implement AnyEvent->time and AnyEvent->now.
176 - fix IPv6 support in pack_sockaddr.
177 - officially un-experimentalise all newly introduced code.
178 - support unix domain sockets everywhere by specifying
179 a host of "unix/" and the pathname as service.
180 - implement an activity timeout in AnyEvent::Handle.
181 - added a regex read type to AnyEvent::Handle.
182 - added a json read/write type to AnyEvent::Handle.
183 - always croak in on_error in AnyEvent::Handle.
184 - document how to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
185 - implement AnyEvent::Util::fork_call.
186 - add support for IPv6 nameservers and nameserver statements.
187 - work around _yet_ _another_ windows perl bug in where empty
188 select masks cause errors in the pure perl backend (this
189 workaround cannot be implemented for the other event loops,
190 but EV also works around this).
191 - supply AnyEvent::Socket::address_type and make good use of it.
192 - clarify and fix the Handle documentation w.r.t $self vs. $handle
193 vs. callback arguments.
194 - add some recommends to the META.yml.
195
1964.05 Mon May 26 19:44:06 CEST 2008
197 - some platforms ignore the rfc and prepend an extra sa_len member to
198 the sockaddr structure, cater for those. also use sockaddr_family,
199 didn't know it was there, but comes in handy for the workaround.
200 - undo the import WIN32 hack.
201
2024.04 Mon May 26 08:03:31 CEST 2008
203 - try to work around yet another windows bug: failed connects are reported
204 as if it were out-of-band data. windows users: you suck. Only
205 EV, Glib, Event and the pure perl backend can handle this condition.
206 - optimize write algorithm in AnyEvent::Handle.
207 - properly parse PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS and use the info correctly.
208 - tcp_connect now properly iterates through all targets.
209 - check wether IPv6 sockets can actually be created, otherwise, disable ipv6
210 support entirely. also hardcode some AF_INET6 constants for the
211 sake of perl 5.8.
212 - vastly improved nameserver/suffix detection algorithm for windows
213 (still a hack...)
214 - try to use a fallback dns server if no dns servers could be found.
215 - splatter around some local $SIG{__DIE__}'s to work around bad
216 die handlers.
217
2184.03 Sun May 25 05:05:57 CEST 2008
219 - work around perl bugs on windows, where perl returns undocumented
220 error codes for sysread, syswrite etc.
221 - fix AnyEvent::Handle::unshift_read to really unshift and not push.
222 - AnyEvent::Handle could sometimes stumble over 0-byte writes.
223 - fix unpack_sockaddr, now works for AF_INET6 sockaddr's.
224 - updated documentation.
225 - lots of workarounds for perl 5.8 quirks.
226 - implement a more flexible type system for both reads and writes
227 in AnyEvent::Handle.
228 - support IPv6 in tcp_server.
229 - pass local hostname and port to the prepare callback in tcp_server.
230 - make types extendable in AnyEvent::Handle.
231 - croak, not die, in AnyEvent::Handle;
232
2334.0 Sat May 24 19:58:08 CEST 2008
234 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::DNS module.
235 - added (experimental) AnyEvent::Socket module.
236 - added (experiemntal) support for TLS/SSL in AnyEvent::Handle.
237 - make condvar->end call ->send as documented.
238 - make condvar constructor support the documented cb => argument.
239 - overload condvars so you can use them instead of code references.
240 - support more of the POSIX forms instead of a pure dotted quad for
241 verbatim ip addresses.
242 - AnyEvent::Socket::inet_aton will use AnyEvent::DNS now and not fork anymore.
243 - try very hard not to freeze on broken windows perls.
244 - make on_eof optional in AnyEvent::Handle.
245 - support service names in tcp_connect and tcp_server.
246 - work around netbsd/openbsd bug causing unix sockets not to
247 become writable until empty.
248 - only make a dummy read for error detection when getpeername
249 returns ENOTCONN.
250 - defend AnyEvent::Util::inet_aton against Coro::LWP's brutal
251 override.
252 - new AnyEvent::Guard::cancel.
253
2543.5 Sat May 17 23:17:14 CEST 2008
255 - gracefully deal with systems not defining CLOCK_MONOTONIC
256 (as opposed to not supporting the clock itself, which worked in 3.41).
257 - added AnyEvent::Util::tcp_connect and AnyEvent::Util::tcp_server
258 helpers, to replace the ill-designed AnyEvent::Socket class.
259 - added some examples (eg/connect, eg/handle).
260 - added AnyEvent::Util::guard.
261 - AnyEvent::Util now exports most of its functions.
262 - fixed a bug in *_read_chunk, where the callback was called with $self as
263 first and second argument.
264 - simplified and fixed regex handling in AnyEvent::Handle::*_read_line.
265 - fix manpage condvars examples to use new syntax.
266 - considerably improve inet_aton with EV::ADNS backend to support
267 cname chains (common dns configuration bug, e.g. with www.google.de)
268 and aaaa records if no a record could be found.
269
2703.41 Sun May 11 19:53:13 CEST 2008
271 - work around a bug in perl 5.8.8's local. Reported by Yi Ma Mao.
